National Walking Day

Get Up and Move!

These days, we’re spending more time at work and sitting in front of a screen than ever before. We're becoming less active, which can increase our risk of heart disease, stroke and other diseases.

Take the first step to a healthier life by taking part in the American Heart Association's National Walking Day on the first Wednesday in April. On this day, Americans are encouraged to lace up their sneakers and take 30 minutes out of their day to get up and walk.

We provide a complete toolkit of materials and how-to information for workplaces, schools, individuals and community organizations. The 2015 Toolkit will be published in February.
